In a bid to instil confidence in revellers out to make the most of the holiday season, Jamshedpur police are going all out to ensure they face no trouble at popular picnic spots even on weekdays.

As a part of the initiative, two crowd-pullers ó Jubilee Park and Dimna Lake ó have been given first-aid kits and armed police jawans to keep vigil round the clock.

The police camps that became functional on Thursday morning will be in place till mid-January.

Confirming the initiative, deputy superintendent of police (city) K.N. Choudhary said the directive to set up camps had been issued by special superintendent of police Akhilesh Kumar Jha.

ďWe have spoken to the district civil surgeon for deputing health personnel along with first aid kits at these camps at Jubilee Park and Dimna Lake for any medical emergencies which can arise. The camps would also have armed cops from the local police stations and also jawans from Rapid Action Police (RAP) in two shifts to keep a tab on miscreants,Ē said Choudhary.
